How it sits among coffee from Costa Rica

Big Dog Coffee describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, chocolate. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Costa Rica; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Costa Rica, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Costa Rica, Colombia

Not stated

region, farm or estate, producer, process, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Acidity, described

“La Pastora brings the top end with it's signature bright acidity, ripe peach, and a honeyed sweetness.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Decaffeination method

“We've paired Costa Rica, La Pastora with Colombia, Popayan Sugarcane Decaf in a 50/50 split, so you get the full flavour of two coffees we already love with roughly half the caffeine of a standard cup.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Decaffeinated

Flavour families

The Colombia Popayan Decaf does the heavy lifting underneath: sugarcane decaffeination strips the caffeine while leaving the sweetness intact, giving us red fruit, chocolate, and a body that holds up in milk… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
